Re the interior - looks like the shift lever, MMI controls, volume knob, etc. are the same as the B9 A4. You need to get into more Audis!

I love, love, love this idea. Hosting Christmas and I can’t wait to have these around. Especially in the kitchen while I avoid the vegetarians..,

Why not sweet italian? That’s what I use for my sausage/apple/cranberry stuffing, and it is SO good! 

This is fantastic - thanks Kristen! The discussion of other hacks reminds me of what I did when I got my first iPod (2nd Gen). I had a 97 Saab 900 with a trunk CD changer and so I split open the cable that brought sound from the trunk CD changer to the head unit, identified the l/r sound cables, and soldered them to a …

This is such a fantastic idea! Thank you! Goodbye overpriced small plate arancini and hello happiness! I’m making these Friday night and can’t wait (to be accompanied by the most garlicky Caesar possible)!

Cream and chocolate pies - cold. Fruit pies - warm! And the best way to reheat an apple or peach pie is to fry a slice in butter in a cast iron frying pan! 

There is at least one randomized clinical trial addressing the question of blue light and insomnia that found blocking it improved sleep quality.

I’ve had three separate calls today from spoofed local DC numbers! The call actually recorded on my voice mail for one of them - it was a “Social Security Agent” because there is an issue with my SSN!

The last point you make is key - start saving now. Particularly since while the long term return on stocks may have been 10% pre-inflation, Vanguard (and others) are expecting a lower rate over the next ten years. Vanguard is forecasting average annual returns over the next decade of:

Yes, the letter is garbage.

Impressive research - nicely done! The other thing about entries written by NRA employees (or interns or whoever’s job it is to paste organizational talking points into Wikipedia) about the NRA - not only is it a breach of the paid editor policy, but is proscribed by the broader conflict-of-interest guidelines (https:…

The analysts quoted in that article are so full of it. Highly unlikely that investors in bank stocks are pricing in a potential Warren victory 13 months away. More likely - pricing in the likelihood of a recession caused by Trump’s trade wars and all the other fuckups of the last 2.5 years. 

Another trick is to hide a chunk of Brie in the middle of the burger before grilling - it melts and some of that delicious cheese fat seeps into the meat! 

Agreed! Since the House is highly unlikely to use the “arrest and detain” power (as much as I’d like to see these hacks get hauled in to testify, it’s probably good considering the Senate theoretically has that power also) it should find everyone who ducks a subpoena in contempt, find them, and then skip the US Atty…

This is a fantastic idea! This weekend I’m going all-in with the apple butter, triple-cream Brie, and horseradish!

There are a number of different models of UBI. See, e.g., https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fandd/2018/12/what-is-universal-basic-income-basics.htm - the issue you flag about universality is one of the variables that differs between models. On the one hand, universality complete eliminates considerable administrativ…

Looks like Trump involved him - the question is whether Pence is as dumb as he is pretending to be. And while I think he’s very, very dumb (as well as being evil, racist, etc. etc., somehow he’s ended up as VP). Complicit. 

This is a good article - coming on to second the recommendation that people looking for a new bike try their local bike shop or REI and not department stores. The quality of the bike and the follow-up service is much better; parts are less likely to break; they’ll make sure the bike fits you properly; and it will be…

Agreed - part of the issue is learning how to customize these features. The “Audi active lane assist” in my 2017 A4 works fairly well at high speeds on long, dull freeway drives - when set on “late” it doesn’t intervene until the car is about to cross the lane marker, but otherwise runs in the background. One-button…
